Hi everyone,
long time reader, never posted anything. Couldn't find anything about this anywhere, so I figured this would be the best place.
Just today I came across a weird change in Disk Utitily of High Sierra in comparison to Sierra: when I erase a Volume and set it up as an NTFS partition (I have Paragon NTFS 15 installed), the dialogue used to offer a choice as to what partitioning scheme I want to use (in this case Master Boot record) - this option seems to be gone now.
Instead, the scheme defaults to GUID, which in my case is useless. I need to format the drive in MBR to ensure maximum compatibility (the drive contains a Digital Cinema Package, and I had the best results working with the Master Boot Record scheme in the past in terms of compatibility.) Is there any hidden option I might have missed, or if there isn't: does any of you know if there's a workaround (like a Terminal command to format a drive with MBR?). Any help would be much appreciated!
